Postcards, magnets and stamps, oh my.

[reddragdiva]

Vistaprint are sending me more el cheapo offers. Now, rubber stamps I have a good idea on. But can any of you think of a suitable use for 25 identical fridge magnets, or 100 full-colour postcards? I welcome your ideas.

Destroying somebody's hard drive by stealth desktop decoration.

Giving them to me to put on the fridge.

Printing adverts on them and sticking them to radiators in pubs.

Entering 100 competitions.

Fridge magnets are good for labelling your friends. You give each friend a fridge magnet with a photo of you on it, and as they meet each other for the first time, they discover that they already had you in common...

"Here is a souvenir for your bedpost, you lucky creature." Now I'm imagining them seeing it there rather than the fridge. "Oh look! We have some ... thing ... in common."

Do you think the company would print up a suitable naked photo for this purpose? Do you have any photos that anyone who has seen you naked would instantly identify, and anyone who hadn't would be none the wiser? Do you have distinctive enough tattoos or birthmarks?

[reddragdiva]

OK, OK, I'll send you one!

;-p

I did something similar with numbered buttons once. Nothing fancy, just a green button with a number on it. Much hilarity ensued.

just print "i lost the game" on all of them. then send the postcards to random friends and sneak the fridge magnets onto metal surfaces wherever you go.

that's an EEEEEEEvil plan!

ARGGGGGGGGH!

[feanelwa.livejournal.com]

Bah. But at the same time, it's a really good idea :)

fridge magnets...

"Hard drive speedup device. Stick this to your hard drive for up to 200% speed increase"

Then sell them on ebay

[baljemmett.livejournal.com]

I couldn't think of anything to do with the offer either... Best I could come up with was fridge magnets printed with "diskettes are so last century!", for wantonly-destructive purposes.

Fridge-magnet campaign warning against the demented warbling of Celine Dion. Be alert, not alarmed!

Can you upload your own designs, as I could definitely use that sort of thing. And g_dog would get very excited by the prospects of propaganda material.

[reddragdiva]

Yup. You need to pay two quid for the privilege of said uploading. And check with your local printshops, because every high-street printshop does pretty much the entire range somewhere like Cafepress does these days to stay afloat.

Once I get a decent website sorted I'll be wanting to do a short run of buisness cards for giving out at gigs when people ask do I have a website.

And of cours,e there are lots of comedy things to have printed.

[reddragdiva]

I do that already for my site ;-D Cheap photocopies specifically for the purpose of looking noncommercial ;-)

Holiday cards. Postcards are cheaper to send than things in envelopes.

Fridge magnets... a very very boring set of fridge poetry?

Hmm, like a fridge-mounted version of AAAAAAAAA! (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/AAAAAAAAA%21)?

[reddragdiva]

Oh, man. Now I want to get these just so I can upload an image of AAAAAAAAAAA! fridge poetry.

Vendor's table for self-promotion at a con or some such?

[shamus9999.livejournal.com]

The postcards could be used to wallpaper a closet.
